That's what I'm seeing after upgrading from 30 to 31.  Several directories still there under 30 including Lav64 and other xxxx64 folders.  I don't recall it being normal to have to copy over or reinstall plugins for previous upgrades.  Is this new?

Awesome Donkey:
No, it's always been like that. In most cases, it's probably not a good idea to copy over plugins like LAV Filters from an older MC to the plugins folder of a newer MC. Best to just have MC redownload those.

When does MC redownload those?  The only plugin I saw after upgrade and a night of use was madVR.  I did not see it install anything else.  What's the process for kicking off any upgrades?  I notice quit a few that are in 30 plugin but not 31.   

Awesome Donkey:
MC downloads plugins on demand when you do something that requires them, e.g. play a video (to download LAV Filters and/or JRVR if it's enabled), start a feature like Cloudplay (to download the integrated web browser component if it's needed and WebView2 Edge isn't already installed), etc.

I am a little confused re Bitstreaming for audio files, including Atmos Audio

I have been bitstreaming Audio for years hence my confusion

Can someone possibly explain the changes for me

TIA
